I tried the Primark bronzing drops everyone’s raving about… it was a flop, trolls say I should work for Willy Wonka
IT’S the summer make-up essential that’s taken the internet by storm – the viral Primark bronzing drops.
The beauty must-have, which is said to be a dupe of the posh Drunk Elephant D-Bronzi drops, has become a major hit amongst Primark shoppers who can’t believe the price.
Whilst the real version will set you back an eye-watering £34, the budget-friendly Instant Bronzing Drops sell retail for just £3 – saving you more than a whopping £30.
However, whilst the beauty bag must-have seems to be a firm staple for many, one woman was recently left looking like anything but a bronzed goddess.
Horrified, TikToker Laura Wilkinson took to her page after trying out the viral drops went terribly wrong – and social media users couldn’t stop laughing at the epic fail.
”Quick question… Can someone, please, show me how to use these?” she said in the video, which has since racked up close to 400k views.
In the clip, the mum-of-two showed she had used the drops in the Medium to Dark range, before revealing the jaw-dropping results.
”I am pretty sure this isn’t how it’s meant to go,” the blonde beauty was mortified, as she revealed her bright orange complexion that clearly hadn’t had the sunkissed effect she was after.
”SOS,” Laura went on in the caption.
After taking the internet by storm with the hilarious flop, the Primark shopper realised the grave error she had made, as many pointed out she’d skipped an essential step.
One person explained: ”I mix them with my moisturiser or primer.”
Others also pointed out that she may have used the drops that were, clearly, too intense for her fair glow.
But as many were rushing to offer a helping hand, hundreds couldn’t help but laugh at the disaster, with one wondering if Laura was off to work for Willy Wonka.
”Are you off to the chocolate factory?” a viewer joked.
Another was in hysterics, writing: ”Umm I’m guessing you just use like 1 drop any more and you look dipped in chocolate.”
Why Primark is great for looking expensive on a budget

AS someone who’s no stranger to grabbing a last-minute outfit from Primark for a night out, it’s about time that celebrities started catching on too.
For as long as I’ve been heading out, Primark has been my go-to for those “I have nothing to wear” moments, rushing in at the last minute to find something perfect.
And I’m definitely not alone – on any Friday or Saturday night, you’ll find plenty of shoppers doing the same thing, right before closing time.
But no matter what, Primark always delivers.
Now, Rita Ora is leading the charge, showing that you can snag a designer-worthy look without spending a fortune at high-end stores.
While Rita’s not rushing in last minute for a red carpet outfit, she’s proving you can achieve the same high-impact style for much less.
Looking stunning in her tailored suit alongside her mum Vera, Rita fit right in among the other A-listers dripping in Prada, Dior, and Victoria Beckham – if anything, she looked even better than some of the guests at The Fashion Awards.
With Myleene Klass and Roxy Horner already jumping on the Primark bandwagon, I’m sure more stars will be following suit soon enough.
A fellow beauty buff had also, unfortunately, encountered the same problem.
”Omg this happened to me the other day I was like an Oompa Loompa. The lighter one is far better. I just mix in with my moisturiser.”
”I AM F*****G HOWLING,” someone else was in stitches.
”Lol I’m glad I wasn’t the only one who did this,” a viewer commented.
